Diagonalizing ``compact'' operators on Hilbert \(W^*\)-modules (Q1346951): Difference between revisions

Summary: For \(W^*\)-algebras \(A\) and self-dual Hilbert \(A\)-modules \({\mathcal M}\) we show that every selfadjoint, ``compact'' module operator on \({\mathcal M}\) is diagonalizable. Some specific properties of the eigenvalues and of the eigenvectors are described.
